I also have it running on my Mach system. If I had more time I would do a full scale asault on it for FreeBSD! The thread problem has struck me as well (Hey, remember when I asked for a threads package?) Novell has some interest in Coda, checkout the CMU copyright. :-) Now that I have tipped my hat! Darren R. Davis Senior Software Engineer Novell, Inc. >>> Martin Heller 5/30 5:46pm >>> Hi ! Has anyone looked at the coda file system (CFS) from CMU ? The coda file system is the descendent of the Andrew file system (AFS), seems to be compatible with AFS, a makefile for an NetBSD-i386 client seems to exist and the source code is ftp-able from their ftp for anyone (ftp.cs.cmu.edu) . The cfs server code would probably be the hardest thing to adapt to FreeBSD - it relies on CMU Mach threads - , but the client side seems to be manageable as there is an Makefile for NetBSD .
